The camaraderie among Alabama Crimson Tide players, coaches, alumni, and fans runs deep.
Football coach Nick Saban is well aware of that.
So too is Lee Hodges, a former graduate of Alabama. Hodges crushed the field this past weekend at the 3M Open, winning by seven strokes.
Nearly seven months after suffering cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game against the Bengals, Bills safety Damar Hamlin suited up to participate in a full-pads practice on Monday for the first time since his near-death experience.
After the practice, Hamlin spoke to the media for the first time since April, expressing gratitude for reaching this key checkpoint in his long journey back to football.

Stop 7: Bengals training camp in downtown Cincinnati …
1) The Bengals receivers are aliens. Ja’Marr Chase had a catch down the sideline with two guys on him on Monday, where he shielded a defender with his body and caught the ball seemingly off his left hip with one hand, that I don’t think five guys on the planet would’ve made. Tee Higgins had a stream of catches where his body was moving one way across the middle, and his hands would dart back the other way to snatch the ball. And those two, and the way they push each other, came up a bunch with guys I talked to here.
After spending the past six seasons as an NFL beat reporter, I knew there were two critical rules for covering training camp: Apply lots of sunscreen and do not forget the binoculars. Now as an NFL staff writer for The MMQB, I get plenty of opportunities to tan in multiple stops for my first training camp tour. I plan on visiting with eight teams on the West Coast throughout the next two weeks. But my first stop was with the Raiders, and I broke one of the critical rules—I forgot my binoculars.
The biggest first round slide of anyone in this year’s NFL Draft belonged to Will Levis. He attended the draft in Kansas City, believing a team would select him in the first round. But none did. The Tennessee Titans took him with the second pick in the second round.
Most NFL teams apparently were not enamored with Levis, as three quarterbacks were taken in the first four picks. Yet Levis fell to #33.
And it seems like Levis hasn’t been overly impressive since joining Tennessee, either.
A little over a decade after settling into Pac-12 life, Colorado is on its way out the door.
The Buffaloes are heading back to the Big 12 in 2024, their football home from 1996 to 2010. The move will reduce the Pac-12 to nine teams as USC and UCLA leave for the Big Ten as well.
News of Colorado’s machinations broke shortly before the start of the 2023 season and made the Buffaloes—already a popular target thanks to their hiring of coach Deion Sanders in the offseason—fodder for discussion across the conference.
College football is back and West Virginia is among the teams who need to get things figured out in 2023. It’s now or never.
Although Week 0 is still about a month away, players all across the country are returning to campus and reporting to fall camp — some of them heavier than others.
